Mogwai - UK Dates (February 2011)We're about to head into the studio with Paul Savage to record our new album however before we do that we wanted to announce some UK dates happening in February.Here they are:

A limited number of pre-sale tickets are available for these shows via our online store from 9am on 29th July and will go on general release on Saturday 31st July at 9am.http://mogwaitickets.sandbag.uk.com/

Following on from Stuart's comments during the Q&A yesterday, ATP have confirmed three Mogwai shows for February 2011.

---------------------------------------------

ATP Concerts by arrangement with Art & Industry are very happy to present three UK shows from Mogwai in February 2011. They will play Birmingham Institute, London Brixton Academy and Manchester Academy from the 24th-26th February. Tickets go on general sale this Saturday 31st July from 9am. Full info on all three shows below...

Whilst news of Mogwai shows is always welcome, it's disappointing to see so little imagination/variety/call it what you will in Mogwai's UK touring itineraries over the last five years.[NB - these comments were made when it appeared that that the UK tour would consist only of the three dates listed above, and are unreservedly withdrawn in the light of the seven further dates confirmed subsequently - Rob]

Unless they've radically altered the interior during the recent refurbishment, Birmingham Institute is markedly smaller than the other two venues and should be first choice for those wanting to avoid the enormo-barns.

Am I hearing things, or did Stuart just say that Mogwai are announcing a UK tour later this week? Great news if so, let's hope it's not just three enormo-shows. Four and a half years since the last UK tour, after all.

Following our previous post on Mogwai's recent/forthcoming collaboration with Douglas Gordon, Dimi from thepostrock.de got in touch yesterday to pass on the news that 'The Singing Mountain' will make its debut on 11th September.

Further info here and here. The second of these links includes mention of 'The Singing Mountain', a new Mogwai track recorded in April 2010 for the project and due to receive a full release at the end of the project - maybe even this year?

Insound have a Special Moves/Burning 2xLP+DVD package on pre-order for $24.99Bear in mind that the Special Moves triple vinyl included in the Deluxe edition runs to 17 tracks. The Insound 'Special Moves' 2xLP has the same tracklist as the CD edition i.e. 11 tracks.

The cheapest UK pre-order I've seen so far, for the CD+DVD edition:Amazon (£8.93 inc shipping)

The process of circulating these things seems glitchy at best, a fair number of folks still complaining that they're getting the first mp3 (Secret Pint) again.

Given that the company who are processing these free mp3s are the same company who are supposed to be delivering all the pre-ordered download packages for 'Special Moves' in five weeks time, it's to be hoped that someone somewhere is giving them a hefty kick in the backside.

Update: a number of people are reporting that the only reliable way of getting these mp3s is to use a different email address each week. Or, presumably, to unsubscribe from the mailing list and then resubscribe?

Update from Stuart: "That's the live track problem fixed now. Let me know if you hear of any more problems."
